Yes, but in this case the rehearsal mark is affected
by the nearby presence of a TextScript object, so giving
both it and the rehearsal mark a non-zero width prevents
the overlap:

\score {
 \relative c' {
   \clef G
   \time 4/4
   c'1 d
   \override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0)
   \textLengthOn
%    \override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-spacing-height = 
#'(-inf.0 . +inf.0)
   \bar "||" \mark \markup{\box "M2"} e( \f ^\markup{Tutti} f)
 }
}

This works when I try it in 2.13.11.

Your solution is better if you wish to affect all
rehearsal marks and only rehearsal marks, of course.
I just wanted to point out that at least one solution
was documented.

Perhaps we should have a predef which sets extra-spacing-width
of RehearsalMark and DynamicText as well as TextScript
objects to zero, or generalise \textWidthOn
to do this?
